A lovely, compact little house which was nicely-decorated and had everything we needed. We especially loved seeing all the animals nearby and being able to use the hot tub. Very close to lots of excellent walks and great communication from the hosts about getting there and accessing the property.

The scenery was fantastic, tucked in amongst hills and just on the outskirt of ballater, theres a little walk you can take off the house that takes you down to the river the was beautiful too, the house was spacious and lovely inside, the little wood burner topped it off, kept the place so warm waking up to the hawks on the site was amazing too, perfect little place to get away and enjoy a piece of the countryside

There was nothing to dislike, if i was forced to say anything then it would be the weather
